45. I'm not a professional programmer (although I did start my career as one), but have released various bits of software over the years[1]. - It's harder to find time on any personal projects when you have small kids. Mine's now at Uni, so lots more free time for 'my stuff'. Wasn't so in my 30s though. - My official job is as a Technical Architect. As such, I'm in front of a PC all day and I always insist on having Visual Studio installed, so I can 'test' stuff. In reality, I'm always working on little coding side projects whenever I need a change of 'brain-work' for an hour or so. --- [1] The most recent being: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14206309 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14206309
